yeah, I 'corroborated' with some before, nobody who actually understands their code would speak positively of the experience. I used to work with a guy who had his own small software company, and he apparently contracted indians to do the user interfaces but wouldn't let them touch anything else
What outsourcing shills tell you is going to happen: - - Employees work at night, get twice as much work done per day - - Cost less than those overpaid on-shore developers - - Standardized training, your employees are fungible - - The sprawling Indian education system and certification programs ensure consistent and high levels of qualification - - English is an official language of India, we work with English specs
What actually happens: - - Onshore has to be on a call at 10PM to handhold offshore, come in the next day to find a pile of shit code waiting for review that no one is going to be around to fix until tomorrow night - - Hire three times the workforce to do half the work, ends up costing more plus your onshore hate you for fucking up their schedules and pretending like they're replicable with cheap low-skill labor - - No one actually did anything for certs, certification isn't regulated, they just printed some bullshit certificates to fluff up already bullshit resumes - - It's like highschool 2.0 most of the time where you can bribe your way through, you don't know any of the universities so you have no idea if they're going to the indian equivalent of Harvard or Phoenix - - There's like two people at the outsourcing firm that speak horribly broken English which are doing a low fidelity translation of your specs. Any and all communications bottleneck at these few points of contact.
